    Great video. I'm always happy to watch your tutorials as they have no distracting music playing in the background as you tutor. It is quite easy to focus plus you don't impose your music preferences to everyone else as a result of watching your tutorials. I am really grateful.

    This is a very useful channel, glad I've found it. I'm quite proficient with CorelDRAW, but I've been meaning to switch to Inkscape for years. While Inkscape is deficient when it comes to certain features, it has two huge advantages over Corel: it's free, and it works on Linux. CorelDRAW is one of the few programs that keeps me dependent on Windows, so I'm willing to lose some features just to move to Linux full time.

    Tip to people following along in 2020, not sure if this is the right way of doing it but if you're having trouble with all the path steps not separating objects properly try I selecting objects and strokes using the 'edit paths by node' selector instead of the normal 'select objects and transform' selector
